"Mo’ In A Mountain Getaway, a dedication to Werner Herzog."

"While the vastness of the sonic tableau suggests the sea, a third of the album passes before any of the elements specifically sound like the sea.[...] And darkness was upon the face of the deep. By separating chaos (improvisation) and form (loops), the artists honor the initial phase of creation."
Richard Allen
on A Closer Listen

"Fornasari e Balconi hanno ricavato sette tracce i cui contorni vaghi e indefiniti descrivono atmosfere mutevoli, ma estremamente vitali nelle loro incessanti ricombinazioni di particelle sospese, oblique, inafferrabili."
Raffaello Ruffo
on Music won't save you

"Un mare algido e inquietantemente calmo, atmosfere di abbagliante e sinistra luminosità. [...] A tratti più teso ed enigmatico o più rarefatto e risonante, il flusso procede con immutato ed avvolgente magnetismo trasportando lungo un tragitto di emozionale esplorazione."
